1) Description of Spur Gear

Spur gears are a type of cylindrical gear, with shafts that are parallel and coplanar, and teeth that are straight

and oriented parallel to the shafts. They’re arguably the simplest and most common type of gear – easy to

manufacture and suitable for a wide range of applications.

2) Features of Spur Gear 

The teeth of a spur gear have an involute profile and mesh one tooth at a time. The involute form means

that spur gears only produce radial forces (no axial forces), but the method of tooth meshing causes high

stress on the gear teeth and high noise production. Because of this, spur gears are typically used for lower

speed applications, although they can be used at almost any speed.
